Written by Kwani · August 26, 2008
Ishmael Beah, the 28 year old charismatic former Sierra Leone child soldier was here for the Kwani? Litfest.If you missed out on one of the public lectures by this gifted soldier turned author, whose memoir, A Long Way Gone, has sold close to a million copies, then do not worry.He talked to Kwani and you can listen it all here.
Hey am most probably your biggest fan but i have only read Kwani? One about a million times. People get really stingy with and attached to their books, can’t balme them though! Could we have a Nairobi LitFest? Love you guys. Binyavanga on the NTV This Morning made my week!
You guys are doing a fantastic job.I have a feeling a great literary talent is about to be discovered.Kwani should get more proactive in promoting literary talent in the country especially outside Nairobi as many crave to get their piece to the world in this country but their beutiful dreams get rusty for staying too much in the cold.Guys up country also have writing wit.Here i am where are you?
